Short City Breaks In Amsterdam

Served by all the major international airlines, Amsterdam Schiphol
Airport (AMS) is considered to be one of the finest in Europe in terms
of both its facilities and efficiency, located 8.7 miles (14 km) SW of
Amsterdam. The unique appeal of short breaks in Amsterdam lies in the
city’s enjoyably vibrant atmosphere and the famous network of
picturesque canals.

Top 5 things to do in Amsterdam

1. Hang out in Amsterdam’s famous Dam Square

The square is a great meeting place and home to the Royal Palace
(Koninklijk Paleis).

2. Visit the Museum Quarter

Museum Square boasts three major museums, the Riijksmuseum, the Van
Gogh Museum and the Stedelijk Museum of Modern Art. The Riijksmuseum
is a must for serious art lovers as works by Rembrandt, Vermeer, Jacob
van Ruisdael and Jan Steen are housed together in a single wing called
the ‘Masterpieces’ exhibit. Don’t miss the Van Gogh museum which has
the most extensive collection of his work, drawings and personal
documents in the world.

3. Hire a bike!

A bike is the best way to explore the city. With the numerous canals
and hidden streets, you’ll cover a lot more ground this way. If you
want to make sure you don’t miss anything take an organised bike tour.

4. Drop in on Rembrandt’s House

Get a glimpse into the artists’ private world in his house containing
a collection of over 250 etchings.

5. Walk the canals
